Our Experience

Midwest Alarm Company works with architects, engineers, and electrical contractors to make sure your fire alarm system conforms to the requirements of NFPA 72 The National Fire Code.

Our primary fire alarm product is Fire Control Instruments by Honeywell, one of the most respected names in the business for over 150 years. This advanced fire alarm system is flexible, reliable, and intelligent.

Midwest Alarm also performs all of the code required monitoring, scheduled inspection and testing, and we also provide on-going emergency maintenance for your fire alarm system.

Midwest Alarm also provides additional life safety alarms and systems such as carbon monoxide, ammonia, carbon dioxide, and gas alarm monitoring and detection.

Conventional Fire Alarm

A conventional fire alarm system consists of a control panel with detection zones and notification circuits. A detection zone can include smoke and/or heat detectors and manual pull stations covering an area of the structure. If a conventional device is triggered, the corresponding zone transfers to an “alarm” state and activates the fire horns and strobes. NFPA Fire Codes and Standards may limit the area of a building that can be protected by a single zone of detectors.

Intelligent Fire Alarm System

An intelligent fire alarm system is designed to provide more efficient detection and prevention. Each intelligent device (smoke detector, heat detector, manual pull station, etc.) has its own unique “address.” If an intelligent device is transferred to an “alarm” state, it activates the fire horns and strobes. When the local fire department arrives, the control panel displays the specific device and area in which the activation occurred. (A conventional zone panel only identifies the general area of an activated device.)

NFPA Fire Alarm Testing

Midwest Alarm provides all NFPA, state, and local code required testing of fire protection and life safety devices. We test and service all brands of fire alarm equipment. Many local ordinances require fire alarm systems to be tested as regularly as every quarter. It is important that businesses test their fire alarm system quarterly to stay compliant with insurance regulations and local laws for occupancy licenses for buildings. Midwest Alarm goes above and beyond competitors by not only testing the alarm system, but also through cleaning each individual device per visit to ensure your system will stay in proper working condition for years to come.
